Peyton Manning 'avoided being sued over a dog bite by saying the animal belonged to his wife'

[Off The Grid]

Wait...this isn't a Metaphor??

This actually happened??

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

this scumbag still hasnt announced his decision? the fact that he's taking so long makes me think he actually wants to play another year.

I hope he does...It puts the Broncos in a vice. They either cut him by next week or his contract is guaranteed and then they are limited in what the can offer Osweiler or they tie up lots of $$ in both of them limiting what they can offer all their FAs...

You get the feeling if peypey was walking down the street with his wife and got mugged. He'd put his wife between him and the muggers gun.

Nothing for the league to investigate here... Move along.... Move along

Reminds of the story when Peyton and Ashley were walking through the woods and they came up on a hungry looking bear. Ashley asked, "Peyton can we outrun that bear?" and Peyton replied, " I only have to outrun you."



Disclaimer: For those sensitive types I am only kidding around. I don't care what happens to Peyton.
Although it would bring me great pleasure if that Teabagging scumbag went down in flames.

Well it's just that, there is no fall. Whether it is fair or not, no one cares about these rumors other than you guys, and it's not like he can get less popular among Pats fans.

I actually like Manning as do many of the folks here.

Remember when we all made light about how the Patriots were getting free rent in the brain of every team in then NFL...

Have we become them??? The Peyton* obsession continues..

We're not members of the team. We're fans of the team having some fun on a message board. When the Pats players start bringing up other team's or player's names (don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen) then you'll have a point.

I can't stand him. Never could. Same with Archie. The only one I don't mind is Eli. He must take after his mom.

Jesus... same Peyton, different day...

It honestly doesn't bother me that he is such a sleazebag. What bothers me is that he is such a sleazebag but gets worshipped by the media and general public so much because he's just so darn funny in all those commercials..!!

How exactly, does this work?

I can't get my 939 dollar monthly student loan payment (for the next 20 years) reduced because my wife makes too much money for me to qualify for a reduction, but Peyton can somehow manage to hide behind the premise that it's strictly his "wife's dog," and therefore there's no money to be had? That doesn't make the least bit of sense to me.

If I get bit by a dog owned by a famous person's wife, you bet your sweet ass that I'm still getting paid a substantial amount, should I decide to sue them. There are still plenty of family assets, not to mention insurance policies.

As if the other 31 fanbases across the country aren't putting up memes and rumors about Tom Brady on a weekly basis? The more you win, the more you open yourself up to public scrutiny and unsubstantiated gossip. It's sad, but true.

I highly doubt that there are any "fair" and level-headed Broncos fans who are taking the time to realize what a sham deflategate was. It actually sucks, because the whole idea of the NFL has basically become a soap opera for men. I'm sure we'd all much rather return to the days of the 60's and 70's when all the talking was done on the field, and people weren't interested in putting every situation under a microscope.

At this rate, Peyton needs more wives

The headline is extremely inaccurate click bait.

While the headline say he avoided being sued, if you read the article, all that says is he avoided being deposed.

The article also says they settled and I guarantee you the assets and earnings of Peyton were the deciding factor in determining the settlement amount (and not the assets and earnings of his wife).

Nationwide insurance refused to pay.
